J: Billy Loughnane

T: James Tate

Low-mileage 4yo who won twice over 5f on Tapeta (once here) in the autumn and was placed over that trip on handicap debut at Newcastle in January; not quite in same form on turf last month but that run came after a break and he could quite plausibly have untapped potential over 6f back on AW.

J: Connor Beasley

T: James Tate

Returned from 15-month absence with 5f AW maiden/novice wins in November/December; advanced his form again when third of eight on 5f Newcastle handicap debut in January; remains with unexposed potential back from a further five months off; a heavy defeat on his 2024 Newmarket debut shouldn't be taken as evidence he won't prove effective on turf.

Absent for 15 months after finished well held on his turf debut but showed why connections have persevered with 5f AW maiden/novice wins in November/December (here first occasion); up against some battle-hardened types on handicap debut but there could be plenty more to come.

Lightly raced 4yo who has run some encouraging races in handicaps this year; made good headway before run petered out when fifth of 15 at York (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago and he could benefit from today's drop back in trip and grade; possible player.

J: Cam Hardie

T: Antony Brittain

Won 6f maiden here last November and this lightly raced 4yo has got closer to the target with each of his three turf handicap runs, keeping on for fourth at Doncaster (7f) last time in first-time cheekpieces (retained); the return to Newcastle could be a plus and the step up to 1m is worth a go.
